Amazing you have so many names. Party boat! disco boat! |
| ND |
That would be horrible. I bet every night they have someone that gets drunk and throws up all night. Can't get them off the boat. Trapped somewhere. They have a special bed for the vomiting guest. |
| BK |
A bed? |
| ND |
I don't know. |
| BK |
A special bed! |
| ND |
It's a boat. There's always someone at a party who gets too drunk. Then they're like trapped on the boat. Can't get off. A regular party, when you get too drunk - before you get to the point where you're throwing up - someone can drag you home. But if you're on the boat, you can't get off. It's just- |

That reminds me of being a teenager. We used to go party. We'd go to the student house where there were always the big parties. Before we went there, we had this forspill. - because Norway's so expensive to drink out, you would always go somewhere and get drunk before you got to the party. Then you go there - then you go to the naspill - then you get more drunk. We used to go to the bathroom at the student house and puke. Then continue the party and drink. It was just part of the whole thing. To puke was totally normal. |
| ND |
That's why I don't drink beer anymore. I used to drink a six pack of beer. Then I would puke. |
| VJ |
Are you recording this terrible conversation? |
| ND |
Yuh. Then I would have a huge shit - then I would drink another six pack of beer. I just fuckin hate beer. I can't drink it. It's so grotesque. I used to drink it til i'd puke. |
| VJ |
We drank moonshine with coffee. |
| ND |
The most exciting part about drinking two six packs of beer was writing your name in the snow in the wintertime when you took a piss. "I just had twelve beers!" I could write my entire name! Make a little design. |
| VJ |
Alright. Vamos. Oh, there's a fire. |
| BK |
White smoke! |
| VJ |
God! |
| ND |
I can't believe that Chesterfields - they make them but - why are they so hard to find? |
| VJ |
Must be some states where it's like easier to find them. |
| ND |
Probably smoke 'em like crazy down south. |
| VJ |
I like this sound. |
| ND |
That big giant phallus. [belches loud] |
| VJ |
Oh, this is beautiful! |
| BK |
Sorry. |
| VJ |
Concert. |
| ND |
[comparing Zippos] Yours is plain. Mine is brushed. And you're the Austrian who bought yours in America. I'm the American who bought mine in Austria. |
| BK |
Really? It's more expensive in Austria. |
| ND |
I know. It was stupid to buy it in Austria. But I wanted one. I was sick of not having one. I couldn't take it any more! |
| VJ |
There's mosquitos here. |
| ND |
Save it for me. I'll smoke it. |
| BK |
You want it? |
| ND |
Not now. |
| VJ |
It's not gonna work. |
| ND |
You're gonna have to squeeze hell out of it. |
| VJ |
Dinner at six on pier 25. |
| BK |
It's great. Friday we do the taxi trip. |
| VJ |
Yeah. Friday. |
| BK |
And on the weekend we go. |
| ND |
I can't believe that - oh, we're on tape. Never mind. I'm not gonna say anything. |
| VJ |
What? |
| BK |
Stop it. Stop the tape. |
| ND |
No. I'm not gonna say anything. |
| BK |
It makes me nervous. |
| ND |
This part of our conversation is censored. Even though it has a lot to do with how we produce art. Certain people can imagine what it's about. |
| BK |
I think we should record anything. |
| ND |
Well, is he like an old guard leftist? Or what? |
| BK |
Yeah. |
| ND |
That's what he sounds like to me. |
| BK |
Yeah. But, when he called me after he read your fax, he took it so serious. He wanted to understand. He wanted to interpret this text. And be clear on what this text is about. And I read the text several times. Everything was not clear for me, either. It was a very, very, very poetic text, in a way. With the moon and the jetties. He wanted me to explain the text to him. |
